Hi! I'm Rachel, Technology Coordinator/Information Services Librarian in the Walker Management Library (WML) at the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University. I do many things in WML and throughout the Vanderbilt Library system, but playing with technology and incorporating into my work the unexpected and exciting things I learn is my favorite part of this job. I thrive on being in a creative, innovative environment where my imagination can run free.

I earned my MLIS from the University of Pittsburgh in 2001, where I focused on digital libraries and had a wonderful experience. From there, I got a job in Oxford, Ohio at Miami University as an Electronic Resources Librarian. Having grown up in the Cincinnati/Dayton area, it was nice being back home for a while. Then after 2 1/2 years, I moved on to Vanderbilt where I am now and have been since July 2004.
